At Medihair, we offer two well-established hair transplant procedures: Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT). The most suitable method will depend on your hair pattern, donor availability, and treatment goals, which the doctor will assess with you during a personalised consultation.
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
- Individual follicles removed one by one.
- Leaves small dot-like scars, usually subtle.
- Compatible with short or shaved hairstyles; no-shave option available.
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)
- A thin strip of scalp is removed and divided into units.
- Leaves a fine linear scar, covered by surrounding hair.
- Can cover larger areas in one session; healing similar to FUE.
FUE – HOW IT WORKS
REAL RESULTS
At Medihair, the doctors have performed a high volume of FUE and FUT procedures across our Melbourne and Adelaide clinics.
Every case is approached with detailed planning, careful donor management, and precise graft placement to support natural-looking results.
Costs and Payment Options
At Medihair, we believe in open communication and informed decision-making. We provide a clear breakdown of all treatment costs and support patients in understanding their options. There is no obligation to proceed following an initial consultation.
PAYMENT PLAN PROVIDERS
Some patients choose to explore third-party financing options, such as external payment plan providers (e.g. TLC ‘Total Lifestyle Credit’). These are independent services that may allow eligible applicants to pay for treatment in instalments. Medihair does not offer finance directly but can provide general information on request.
ABOUT EARLY RELEASE OF SUPERANNUATION
In some cases, patients may be eligible to apply to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) for early release of superannuation on compassionate medical grounds. This is subject to strict eligibility criteria and may have implications for your retirement savings. We encourage you to seek independent financial advice before making any decisions.
THE MEDIHAIR DIFFERENCE
From your first consultation, our focus is on education. We take the time to explain all your hair restoration options, so you can make informed decisions with clarity and confidence.
We also discuss ways to help maintain existing hair and explore what’s achievable based on your individual presentation. You’ll be introduced to the doctors and together we determine which clinician and method are best suited to your needs. Personalised care guides every step of the process.
The doctors and technicians bring deep clinical experience and use evidence-based techniques designed to support natural-looking outcomes. We never split follicles into multiple grafts, preserving hair density while still achieving large procedures in a single session where appropriate.
Using refined instruments and scalp analysis, the doctors implant hairs at optimal angles based on your scalp analysis. This technique helps minimise overhandling of your hair grafts and supports a natural appearance. We aim to preserve your donor hair in the event you need another hair procedure in your lifetime.
If we don’t believe your expectations can be met, we’ll say so.
Your confidence, satisfaction, and long-term hair health are central to everything we do.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is FUE?
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a type of hair transplant in which individual hair follicles are removed one at a time from the donor area (usually the back and sides of the scalp) and implanted into areas with thinning or no hair. This technique does not involve a linear incision and may be suitable for individuals who prefer shorter hairstyles.
Am I suitable for a FUE procedure?
During this appointment, we will review your degree of hair loss, family history, overall health, stability of your existing hair and expectations. We will assess your donor hair and if you are a good candidate we will determine how many grafts you would require and advise you of the cost of surgery.
What is the difference between FUE and FUT?
FUE and FUT differ in how donor follicles are harvested. FUE involves removing follicles individually, while FUT requires removing a thin strip of scalp that is then dissected into follicular units. Each method has its own applications and limitations, and suitability depends on factors such as hair type and donor characteristics.
What kind of results can I expect?
Results vary from person to person. Factors such as donor hair availability, hair and skin characteristics, and the stability of existing hair will influence the degree of density and coverage. Our gallery shows examples of outcomes achieved by patients at Medihair. These images are for general educational purposes only and do not guarantee individual results. A consultation will help establish realistic expectations.
How much does FUE cost?
Costs depend on the number of grafts required and your individual clinical needs. As a general guide, hair transplant procedures at Medihair typically range from $8,000 to $20,000. A personalised quote is provided following your assessment.
How long do hair transplants last?
If successful, transplanted hair follicles generally grow long-term in their new location. However, outcomes may be influenced by factors such as age, ongoing hair loss, medical conditions, and lifestyle.
When will I see new hair growth?
It is normal for transplanted hairs to shed within 1–2 weeks of the procedure. New growth typically begins around 2–4 months post-treatment, with gradual thickening over the next 9–12 months. Final results are generally seen within a year but can take longer in some cases.
